The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 510

This was the first time that the Houjin army attacked with artillery fire, and it was also the first time that it confronted the enemy with artillery fire. Now the result is out. The Houjin army destroyed the six Hongyi cannons of the Ming army at the cost of losing two general cannons, which can be described as a complete victory.

Of course the flattering Mongolian Taiji sang praises, but Hongxie was extremely proud.

He said in a loud voice: "Everyone, my great generals have experienced actual combat and completely defeated the artillery fire of the Ming Dynasty. From now on, the cities of the Ming Kingdom will no longer be obstacles to the Jin Army and the Mongolian cavalry. After breaking through the strong cities of the Ming Kingdom, we can obtain The seizure can be imagined."

Wu Keshan of Harqin said flatteringly: "The Great Khan is mighty, and the Karaqin tribe will be your most loyal slaves. In the future, he will follow the Great Khan to flatten the Daming City."

Immediately, all the Mongolian and Taiwanese scrambled to show their loyalty. They saw that Houjin had the ability to attack with artillery, and they thought it would be much easier to plunder and generate income in the future.

These bandits had robbed Ming Dynasty before, and they knew that there would be too many wealthy merchants hiding in the city of Ming Dynasty, and Shengdou people would also flee into the city with their money.

The gold and silver treasures that can be obtained by destroying the cities of the Ming Dynasty are not multiplied, but should be increased by several times or ten times.

The robbers unanimously demanded to follow Houjin Dahan to the Ming Kingdom to fight grass valleys, and they all stated that they would send the bravest warriors in the tribe.

The Ming army in Dalinghe City lost its artillery deterrence, and the casualties were negligible when Houjin's coated servants pushed the shield car close to the city wall.

The Hou Jin army tried to attack under the cover of the shield car. Zu Dashou's iron-armored servants should not be underestimated. The Hou Jin army has no experience in attacking fortifications.

Their skills are relatively blunt, and their fighting will is not very firm. After fighting for a long time, they didn't get much advantage at all.

Hong Jie has a plan of his own mind and announces that Ming Jin will withdraw his troops.

The next day, Zu Dashou found that the Hou Jin army that was about to attack the city had retreated like a tide. Their rear formation shouted loudly, and it was obvious that a Ming army of thousands of people broke into the position.

Zu Dashou was overjoyed and immediately organized a response.

The main force of the Dalinghe cavalry came out, and Zu Dashou took the lead to meet the reinforcements aggressively.

Unexpectedly, the oncoming Ming army fired matchlock guns at the Dalinghe Ming army one after another. It turned out that these Ming troops were disguised by the Goryeo Eight Banners wearing Ming army uniforms.

Immediately, the Houjin cavalry who were in ambush suddenly rushed out and cut off Zu Dashou's return. Seeing that Zu Dashou might be captured by the Houjin army, they rushed out at a critical moment.

This was the reward of Zu Dashou's good intentions. To be on the safe side, he knew that he would encounter a fierce battle when he went out of the city to meet the reinforcements, so he left Wu Sangui without him, fearing that his nephew would die in the scuffle and he would not be able to explain to his brother-in-law.

Wu Sangui was young and strong, and at this time he was not planning to be a traitor to show his loyalty to the slave master.

On the contrary, he imagined galloping on the battlefield, beheading slaves and making contributions.

Zu Dashou led the troops to fight and left him to guard the city. The itchy Sanguizi kept observing the battle situation with a binoculars from the top of the city. When he saw the so-called Ming army attacking Dalinghe troops, Sanguizi immediately realized that he had been fooled. , Uncle is very dangerous.

Wu Sangui rushed out of Dalinghe City immediately with a hundred family members and five hundred cavalry who were ready to go. Fortunately, he came quickly, and a fierce battle opened up Zu Dashou's retreat.

In the end, Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui fought and retreated together, and finally fled back to Dalinghe City at the cost of losing [-]% of the cavalry. Wu Sangui was stabbed in the nose and his face was bloody.

Zu Dashou, who was still in shock, was completely discouraged. He arranged for people to block the four gates, and never dared to try to break through.

Hong, who failed in success, interrogated the captured Ming army, and was furious when he learned that the son of Wu Xiang who dug his father's grave and turned his bones into ashes was the general who rushed out of Dalinghe City and ruined his good deeds.

He strengthened his confidence in taking down Dalinghe City desperately, because he learned from the captives that the Dalinghe defenders would not have enough food for long.

Hong Jie was very excited, it seemed that he could easily take Dalinghe City with minimal casualties!

Ba Xiao was no longer willing to consume his own troops under Dalinghe City, but strengthened the defense line and prepared to starve Zu Dashou's team to death.

In order to consolidate the line of defense, the Later Jin Army only left [-] Banner heavy cavalry and [-] Mongolian light cavalry to monitor Jinzhou.

Hong Xie is a pragmatic person who understands that rice needs to be eaten bite by bite. At the beginning, the purpose of surrounding the two cities was to harvest wheat safely, and he could adapt to the situation when deciding which city to conquer first.

Since Dalinghe has obvious defensive shortcomings, of course Jinzhou will be let go first, and Zu Dashou's men will attack Dalinghe City before making a fuss.

In order to ensure that none of the Dalinghe Ming army slipped through the net, Hongxie mobilized the army and civilians to dig four trenches around Dalinghe City and build a wall more than ten feet high.

The walls are lined with eight-banner infantry archers and Koryo arquebus gunners, and every few dozen steps there are general artillery to assist in the defense. This arrangement surrounds the small Dalinghe City like an iron barrel.

Hong Zhe is constantly patrolling and besieging the arrangement of Daling River. After Jin Junmin saw that his master attached so much importance to it, he was naturally more cautious.

Zu Dashou is sad, he and Sanguizi cannot escape without rescue, but I don't know if Houjin can accept their surrender and become traitors?

Mang Gurtai and Dai Shan learned that Wu Xiang's son Wu Sangui and his brother-in-law Zu had been trapped, and they knew that Wu Xiang was named Ping Xibo by Daming because of digging up their Lao Tzu's grave and abusing their corpses.

The enemy's road is narrow!After Jin Baqi's disciples all heard the news, everyone was gearing up, ready to catch San Guizi and bruise him into ashes.

On September 24, a reinforcement of more than [-] cavalry organized by Ming Dynasty approached Jinzhou.The chief generals are Qiu Jiahe, the governor of Liaodong, and Ma Shilong, the general of Wu Jinglue, and the deputy general is Zhang Chun, the Yongping soldier.

There are 7000 troops under the command of the general officer Song Wei, [-] Mongolian and Inner Kharkha cavalry below Qingertai, [-] infantry cavalry below Heihu, and more than [-] soldiers and horses from Changping, Baoding, Miyun, and Tianjin in Beizhili , and a chariot battalion formed by Yongping soldiers trained by Zhang Chun himself.

Qing Getai and Heihu got along well, and the battle between the two of them was extremely boring this time. Except for their 6000 troops and the thousands of soldiers and horses in the Yongping Mansion Chariot Camp, the morale of the Ming army was pretty good. The more than 3 Ming troops were all sluggish. .

The two of them were used to seeing Huang Sheng's aggressive and sturdy subordinates when he led the troops, but they really couldn't understand the way these gangsters rolled their eyes.

Regardless of Qiu Jiahe's attitude, Heihu insisted on marching along the coastline.Because he had informed the old leader Huang Mingli that he was going to Liaodong to rescue him.

Huang Mingli couldn't make the black tiger disobey the dispatch of the Ministry of War. He could only say that he would send warships to follow them. As long as they were killed and would not leave the sea, even if they couldn't win, they wouldn't suffer a disastrous defeat. Otherwise, the Huang family would be helpless.

It wasn't that Huang Mingli was unwilling to make a move, but that the Huang family left in Liaodong didn't even have many high-level soldiers, and there were very few regular soldiers. It was a waste of money to use the few navy to go ashore to fight land battles.

Therefore, Huang Mingli can only express his position to provide artillery cover. Now the artillery of Huang's new warship is not the same. It is used to cover the Ming army by the sea. Although it cannot achieve the effect of defeating the Jin army after defeating it, it guarantees that they will not be completely surrounded and wiped out. can do.

Ma Shilong's pacesetter battalion also had more than [-] troops. He knew that Heihu was Master Huang Sheng's favorite general, and he immediately agreed with Heihu's proposal to march along the coastline.Of course Qing Getai's cavalry followed the Huang family's horses.
