Chapter 564 Target Shengjing
On the eastern wall of the stronghold, Zena, the guard of Hadabao, who put on his armor with the help of his servants, looked around and asked, "How is the assembly of our warriors going?"

"My lord, we are still gathering. Because the enemy set fire everywhere, the city is in chaos, especially near the west gate. Many warriors there can't even notice the sound of Ming Jin here." Reported by subordinates.

"How many people did we gather?"

"Currently, there are about 600 people gathered, but most of them don't have any armor. Only the two or three hundred warriors who live near the east gate have complete armor."

"It's enough. As long as there are two or three hundred strong Jurchen warriors, these sneak attacking Ming troops can be driven out of the city."

"But my lord, we don't know anything about the situation of the Ming army, in case the opponent has a large number..."

"Impossible! If the Ming army mobilizes a large number of troops, there will be news from our eyeliners, and Shengjing will also send people to remind us to take precautions. And I have observed the speed of the Ming army setting fire at the top of the city before. Obviously there are not many cavalry. Counting the number of people staying at the gate and responding outside the city, there are only about 2000 people, at most about 3000 people."

Zener analyzed confidently, "The 3000 Ming army bypassed our army assembled in the Ningjin area. They must not have brought any luggage. I am afraid they only carried dry food for a few days of marching. These Ming troops are If you have the guts, it’s not easy to come out and bite in the middle of winter, so let’s send them back to their hometown as soon as possible.”

After all, he took his long knife from his entourage and walked down the tower.

"All warriors will fight with me and repel the Ming army! Those who wear armor will go first, and the rest will follow behind. Gather your companions along the way, find soldiers and put on armor, God bless the Jurchen!"

"God bless the Jurchen!"

Under the leadership of the guard Zina, the Jurchen soldiers headed west from the east gate, and the team grew stronger and stronger. When they reached the west of the city wall, the number of them exceeded a thousand, and the number of armored men exceeded five hundred.

On the tower of the West Gate, Zhang Jin looked at the Jurchens who gathered in the city in the light of the fire, and said calmly: "Let the bird gun team prepare, and when they get closer to fifty steps, they will open fire!"

In the previous attack plan, Zhang Jin divided the 3000 people into three parts. The first Ming army soldiers were responsible for going up to the city first. Among them, [-] cavalry followed him into the city and set fire to it. The remaining Ming army soldiers were responsible for following up. Solve the single Jurchen soldiers.

The soldiers of the second Ming army were bird gunners, who were the main force in the second round of encirclement and suppression attacks. After Zhang Jin lured the gathered Jurchen soldiers into the ambush circle in front of the West City Gate, they shot and wounded the enemy with bird guns.

Zener brought his troops to the street directly opposite the west gate, chasing the Ming army cavalry all the way, making them underestimate their opponents, thinking that these Ming army cavalry just took advantage of the night attack to surprise them, there was no way Fight them head-on.

"Catch up and drive these Ming troops out of the city!" Zena raised his knife and shouted.

"kill!"

The Jurchen soldiers who were deceived by the Ming cavalry's tactics of showing weakness and luring the enemy with high morale did not think too much about whether there would be an ambush or a trap by the opponent, and rushed towards the gate of the city aggressively!
Seeing that the Jurchen soldiers were about to rush to the gate of the city, Zhang Jin gave an order, and the gunmen of the Ming army who were ambushing on the gate stood up one after another, took aim and fired!
Bang bang bang!
Gunshots rang out one after another, and the three hundred musketeers on the top of the city gate were divided into three rows and fired in turn. The projectiles shot towards the crowd of Jurchen soldiers like a torrential rain. Blockbuster.

The sudden blow caused the Jurchen soldiers to panic for a while, but they quickly stabilized their position amid Zena's loud shouts, and they all hid on both sides of the street, leaving hundreds of corpses on the street directly opposite the west gate. .

"My lord, maybe we can approach the city gate from these alleys." After hiding on both sides of the street, a Jurchen chief suggested.

"Good idea!" Zener immediately accepted his suggestion, and said through gritted teeth, "I must kill all these cunning and despicable Ming soldiers to vent my hatred!"

In the shooting just now, he was also shot, but the bullet got stuck on the armor, so he escaped by chance.

On the top of the city, a hundred households said: "Sure enough, as my lord expected, the Jurchen hid in the alley."

Zhang Jin said with a smile: "These Jurchens are more obedient than dogs. Tell the other two teams to launch an attack. You also block the streets and alleys for me. Don't let them come out casually."

"Yes, my lord!"

Just as Zener in the alley was leading the people towards the gate of the city, he suddenly heard a noise from the roof next to him. When he looked up, he saw that the Ming army had climbed onto the roof at some point, holding a gun. The bird guns were aimed at them.

The next moment, there was a lot of gunfire!

There was a lot of wailing and screaming in the alley, and one counted as another. Almost no Jurchen soldiers could escape this close-range attack.The projectiles from top to bottom are facing their weakest defense zone, and there are not a few people whose heads are blown.

There is no way to avoid it in the narrow alleyway. Gunpowder smoke mixed with the smell of blood stimulated the brains of the Jurchen soldiers. All the gunshots and the miserable howls of their companions came from their ears. This round of attacks is more impressive than the previous one on the street. Despair and fear!
Zener dodged quickly, and broke through the door to hide in the next room at the first time, but he was still shot in the calf. The bullet pierced his fur boots and got stuck in the bones and muscles, which made people feel distracted. Uncomfortable!
"grown ups……"

In shock, Zener turned his head and looked behind him, only to see that the lieutenant following him was lying at the door, stretching out his hand for help.But before he could respond, there was another burst of gunshots, and several bullets hit the back of the lieutenant who had reached the bottom, and he was completely dead.

Zener regained his composure, quickly got up from the ground, supported his body with his long knife, and began to look for a way to escape.

He no longer had the ambition to kill the Guangming Army, and only hoped that he could escape from here and report back to Shengjing.Let Shengjing send troops to destroy these Ming troops, and avenge the Jurchen clan who were attacked and killed by the Ming army tonight!

After several rounds of blunderbuss shooting, there were not a single Jurchen soldier standing on the street or in the alley.

Under the leadership of Baihu, the Ming army formed a team and began to clear the streets and alleys, killing all those who survived the injury and escaped the attack of the bird gun!
Seeing the thousands of people fleeing to death, Zhang Jin handed over the finishing work to his subordinates, and he led a cavalry team of 300 people to the east gate of the city again, wiping out countless soldiers along the way. Less sporadic counterattacks.

The remaining Jurchen soldiers saw that the general situation was over, and there was no general to stand up to command. They either fought alone and were cut down by the Ming cavalry, or they seized their horses and fled from the east gate, hoping to report back to Shengjing.

However, the escaped Jurchen soldiers would not have imagined that a group of hunters had already ambushed in the darkness outside the east gate.

In the third Ming army, Zhang Jin arranged for a thousand cavalry to ambush outside the east gate to cut off the escape route of the Jurchens. Once any fish slipped through the net, they would be responsible for killing them all!
Fortunately, the Jurchen's stronghold only had east and west gates, which saved them a lot of energy.

Most of the Jurchen soldiers who fled from the east gate were unarmored. Even though the Jurchens were all warriors who were proficient in foot and horse combat, they were still mortal and could not fight more with less.When they met Ming army cavalry who were determined to fight against the unprepared, they were either shot off their horses by bows and arrows, or pierced by spears and fell to the ground.

The encirclement net of the cavalry of the Ming army was so wide that none of the Jurchen soldiers fleeing in all directions could successfully break through.

When Zhang Jin led [-] cavalrymen through the city wall and arrived outside the east gate, all the Jurchen soldiers who fled had been killed.

"My lord, it's a good luck not to disgrace my life!" Several hundred households came forward to salute and report.

"Let's go, fight back from the east gate!" Zhang Jin turned his horse's head and led 300 meters of cavalry back to the city.

The infantry of the Ming army at the west gate cooperated with the bird guns step by step, advancing steadily, and searched every house in every area, leaving the Jurchen soldiers nowhere to hide. They either died on the spot or fled to the east gate.

At the east gate, Zhang Jin took the lead, like a god of killing, and it was even easier for the thousands of cavalry behind him to kill the unorganized and morale Jurchen soldiers after entering the city.

The raging fire burned all over the fort, turning half of the night sky red.Blood stained every piece of land in the walled city, and the corpses of Jurchen soldiers were everywhere.

The ashes were pushed high into the air by the heat wave, and blown in all directions by the cold night wind, like a gray night snow.

The clatter of horseshoes echoed in every street and alley in the fort, and any Jurchen soldiers who resisted a little would be defeated by the Ming army with blunderbuss first, and then charged with cavalry to assassinate them.

Under the attack from both sides, none of the [-] Jurchen soldiers in the fort survived.

The guard Zener was hit in the back by a blunderbuss bullet during his escape, and his head was chopped off by a Ming cavalryman.

Zhang Jin walked around the city on horseback, and seeing that the general situation was settled, he ordered his subordinates to quickly replenish dry food and drinks, and then evacuated at night to find a hidden place to hide and recuperate.

The Jurchen soldiers in Hadabao were all killed, but there were still hundreds of slaves left. Zhang Jin had no way to arrange a place for them, let alone take them away, so he could only let them escape on their own.

Zi Chou met, and Zhang Jin led his men to leave Hadabao and head towards the mountains and forests in the northeast.When they arrived at the hiding place that the veteran guide had found, the soldiers got off their horses to rest, while Zhang Jin called a meeting of hundreds of households to discuss.

In the Battle of Hadabao, the Ming army had taken it by surprise, planned carefully, and wiped out [-] Jurchen soldiers in the fortress.But he also killed and injured dozens of people, all of which were caused by the desperate resistance of the other party when the remaining Jurchen soldiers who resisted were cleared.

The fierceness in the bones of the Jurchen who grew up between the white mountains and the black waters broke out in the despair of life and death, and the soldiers of the Ming army who had prepared were still a little caught off guard.

Fortunately, most of the dozens of people were slightly injured, and only a small number of soldiers who were seriously injured and incurable were ruthlessly given up.He left weapons for them, and if they encountered Jurchens, they could resist desperately and fulfill their last glory.

Everyone thought it was cruel, but no one would object to it. Anyway, sooner or later they would follow in the footsteps of these brothers, but it was the difference between dying sooner and later.

night and day.

The sunshine in early winter is not rare. Facing the rays of the morning sun, a small group of people galloped towards Hadabao.When the pair of men and horses walked through the unguarded east gate to the city wall with doubts on their faces, they were shocked by the sight in front of them!
The fire burned all night, leaving only ruins in the entire Hadabao castle, with burnt houses, collapsed tile roofs, and a layer of ashes and fine snow on the scorched wood, mixed with gray and white, giving it a decadent and dilapidated look. Strange beauty.

The corpses of the Jurchens were scattered all over the place. They had not been cut off or gathered into Jingguan, but they were still scattered everywhere like garbage. Some of them were half burned by the house fire, exuding a disgusting and unpleasant smell.

More corpses were covered in ashes and snowflakes, frozen into strange postures, and the gray-blue faces were either ferocious or panicked, and they were indescribably permeating!
Shocked and angry, this group of people walked all over the entire city, and all they saw were ruins and corpses, not even half of the living people could be seen.

"Could it be that everyone in the entire Walled City is dead? Such a big thing happened, and no one reported it!"

"Who dared to do it? Could it be the Ming army?"

"Who else besides the Ming army must report this situation quickly."

"How could the Ming army come here quietly and capture this city?"

"This is the crux of the problem. The Ming army appeared near Shengjing, but we didn't notice it!"

After some discussion, the team immediately turned around and returned the same way. The original order also lost its meaning because the entire army of Hadabao was destroyed.

On the same day, Hadabao fell, and the news that all the defenders were killed quickly spread throughout the Houjin court.

In order to grasp the movements of the Ming army as soon as possible and ensure the safety of Shengjing, the small imperial court immediately arranged for a large group of scouts to disperse westward, cast a net to search for traces of the enemy, and at the same time sent cavalry orders to summon several troops stationed nearby to rush immediately. Come help.

Whoosh!
A feather arrow pierced the Jurchen scout's neck, causing him to fall to the snow in an instant.

A group of Ming army cavalry in iron armor with a red background galloped over, brought the horse that had lost its owner and the body of the Jurchen scout back to the forest, and cleaned up the remaining blood on the ground.

In the temporary camp in the mountains, the scouts of the Ming army came back to report.

"My lord, this is the third batch of scouts we have shot and killed. I'm afraid the Jurchens will find out our whereabouts soon."

Zhang Jin raised his head and glanced at the sky. It was not long after the first day of You, and the sky had already darkened.

He turned his head and said: "Let everyone get up and stretch their muscles and bones, prepare to leave here, make a detour to the northeast, and then turn to Shengjing."

"Yes, my lord!" All the hundreds of households took orders and left.

Zhang Jin obtained a lot of information from the previously captured Jurchen scouts by using his fine-grained skills, and learned that Shengjing had sent reinforcements to the surrounding garrisons, and that the nearest Eight Banners army would arrive at midnight, which forced him to Act early.

Careful work: It allows the player to gain 100% trust from the designated person, and it is only effective when they are alone with the target.

The soldiers of the Ming army in the camp in the forest were all high-spirited, laughing and playing while exercising their muscles and bones. There was no tension at all about attacking the enemy's capital, or the worry that their bones might be buried in a foreign land after the battle.

For these soldiers, there is no return to their homeland, glory in their hometown, glory to their ancestors, all of which were ruthlessly deprived by the Jurchens.The family is broken, the homeland is gone, the reason for living and joining the army is to avenge one day!

Therefore, everyone is gearing up and can't wait.

This battle may be the most glorious moment in their lives!
