Chapter 187 The Great Victory in Jinzhou
"The purpose of building a slave is self-evident. Surrounding Jinzhou City is to lure us to rescue. This time, you are the pioneer to open the way. Be careful in everything."

The more than 3000 people in Wang Yan's hands are not comparable to other generals.

Look at the people in front of the army who are running in a hurry, and then compare the black and black behind, slowly moving, and there are fucking gossips.

Man Gui also knew the situation, Wang Yan and his troops were the most capable team under him.Especially those cavalry who opened the way in front, they basically fought field battles with Jiannu.

Wang Yan nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord. The scouting cavalry of my subordinates have traveled thirty miles. They are all reliable brothers who have been with my subordinates for a long time. If there is any situation, I will definitely find out as soon as possible."

It is a normal operation to send some scouts, and even in many cases, the first battle between the two armies is the scouts from both sides.The opportunity to strike first greatly affects the outcome of a war. Wang Yan has been tossing in the enemy's rear for so long, if he can't detect the enemy's movements in advance, he will die [-] times early.Needless to say, the scouts under him are veterans with rich combat experience, and they are definitely enough.

Man Gui nodded and said: "That's good, report to the enemy as soon as possible, don't act recklessly, go."

"Yes, my lord."

Wang Yan accepted the order with fists in his arms, and rode off on his horse.

After receiving the transfer order, Man Gui took more than 2 people to rescue Jinzhou.

In fact, after Wang Yan gave military merits and money, Man Gui was the big brother in the Liaodong Army, even Zhao Ledao, who was also the commander-in-chief, couldn't do it well.But the system is such a system. Yuan Chonghuan is the big brother in Liaodong in name, the top military and political leader, and if he doesn't listen, he is rebelling.As a result, people have been surrounded for seven fucking days, and Yuan Chonghuan ordered Man Gui to rescue him?I have been thinking about a der for a long time.

Of course, Wang Yan was just making fun of Yuan Chonghuan's shyness. If he really wanted to fight head-to-head in the field, Daming really couldn't do it.But the hard power is not enough, so the tactics come together, but Yuan Chonghuan's tactics are fucking bastards, maybe he never thought of attacking in his heart.

Those things had little to do with Wang Yan, he rushed to the front of the team ten miles away, and led the way to Jinzhou with his subordinates.

Of his more than 3000 people, only more than 1000 are cavalry, and the rest are all infantry.The more than 1000 cavalry were captured by him from Houjin, otherwise there would not be so many excellent horses to arm him.The war horses of the entire Liaodong are basically at Yuan Chonghuan's place, and they have been training for such a long time. As a result, Jiannu came and defended Ningyuan...

But even so, all the infantry under him have received serious cavalry training. As long as they have horses, they can be transferred to cavalry. Although the combat effectiveness may be poor, there is no problem at all with the hedging and fighting with the wind.After all, after such a long period of training, even the most trashy military households under him are more effective than the gossiping veterans behind him.

No one in the whole team spoke, only the sound of neat footsteps, walking forward silently.It's like a deep pool with no waves and bottomless surface, just waiting for the prey to ripple and the long-simmering thunder to strike...

They were stationed in front of Ningyuan before, and Ningyuan is only less than [-] miles away from Jinzhou.

I took orders to set off early in the morning, and by noon, I had already walked half of the distance.The location at this time is near HLD 400 years later, about [-] miles away from Jinzhou.

Wang Yan received a notice from the back, saying that he was asked to stop, rest and have a meal before leaving.

There is no problem with this order. Although soldiers are expensive and fast, the situation is different now. The soldiers of the Houjin Army have made it clear that they want to fight with them, and there will definitely be encounters along the way.They couldn't do enough for others. If they were exhausted all at once, and they waited for work with leisure, then they would not be enough to deliver food.

Wang Yan waved his hand, and the messengers around him rushed out in a sensible manner, shouting the order to stop the army to rest and eat.But after a while, the whole team stopped, and took out the dry food and jerky that had been prepared in advance from the self-propelled army bag and ate them.

Now the officers don't have preferential treatment, the military rations are the same, and the food is the same, but what Wang Shoubei eats is that stuff.

When marching and fighting, eating and drinking is a big deal. Of course, Wang will not forget the army rations.He has already organized manpower to improve, and what he eats now is.How about the details, Wang Yan didn't pay attention any more, he gave an order, and asked a group of barefoot doctors to lead the cooks to poke.

The taste of the one I’m eating now can only be described as mediocre. It is a dry cake made of some Chinese herbal medicine mixed with grains and preserved fruits. It is soaked in water and eaten with dried bacon. Anyway, the requirements of military rations can be met. .

Just when Wang Yan was thinking about this, when he had just eaten two mouthfuls, two fast horses ran over from a distance ahead, and approached with dust. Before the horses stopped, the two jumped off the horses in unison, and ran two quick steps. He ran up to Wang Yan who was sitting on the ground and knelt down on one knee: "Lord Bing, there are Jiannu ambushing near Yanli Mountain fifteen miles ahead. There are three or four thousand cavalry and more than 1 infantry."

Wang Yan waved his hands back and forth to drive away the smoke and dust in front of him: "Have you been discovered?"

"No." With an embarrassed smile, the little soldier said, "But we killed a few Jiannu scouts. It's probably noon now, and we'll probably be noticed soon."

"Go, keep an eye on the enemy's movements, and report anytime." After finishing speaking, Wang Yan turned around and called the messenger: "Go and report to the commander-in-chief behind, and ask him what instructions he has."

"Yes, my lord." After swallowing the contents of his mouth in twos and twos, the messenger mounted his horse and galloped away.

Sun Fugui said: "My lord, you don't really want to fight with them, do you?"

"how?"

Wang Yan looked at a group of officers who were looking at him, and asked calmly.

"We only have 2000 cavalry. Although the remaining [-] people have been trained, they have no combat experience. I'm afraid they are no match for the slave cavalry. And their infantry... the group behind them can fight with the wind. If this is a bad one, then our entire army will be wiped out."

"Old Sun, you want to annihilate the entire army before we fight here?" Wang Yan glared at Sun Fugui, "Punishing you half a year's salary is useless."

Sun Fugui didn't care about being fined, and said with a smile: "It would be great if I could be fined..."

Wang Yan punched Sun Fugui, looked around, looked at the officer and said: "If we can't fight head-on, we will find a way, it is impossible to take you to death, and don't forget, we still have secret weapons .Besides, I’m only his mother’s seventeenth, and my mother-in-law didn’t ask for one, but I haven’t lived enough yet.”

As soon as these words came out, no matter what their identities were, they all laughed out loud.This garrison master is good everywhere, but he is still a beginner, which is really interesting.As for what the secret weapon is, they all know that it is a dynamite bag, which explodes one piece at a time.

Wang Yan didn't care about being teased by the group, he mainly wanted to ease the tense atmosphere.Although most of his officers had fought guerrillas with him in Jiannu's territory, they were all small-scale encounters. In this case, it would be a lie to say that you are not afraid.

After they ate and rested for a long time, the previous order came back and brought back Man Gui's instructions: stay put and stand by.

After a while, Man Gui rushed over with a team of troops. When he saw Wang Yan, he didn't say a word, and asked the military situation: "How is it? Jiannu found us?"

Wang Yan nodded: "Our brother killed several scouts on the opposite side before, and now it's almost time to find out after such a long time."

Man Gui frowned and said, "What do you think?"

"beat."

"Hit?" Man Gui shook his head and said, "The terrain is open and flat, what should we use to fight?"

"My lord, they only have [-] cavalry, and we have about the same number. In terms of infantry, we even have twice as many as them, so we have to test it anyway. And... if we don't fight, we can't explain it..."

Of course Man Gui knew that he had to fight. The reason why he said that was because he wanted to hear an answer from Wang Yan that didn't have to be tough.

In this battle, the art of war is useless.The detours are full of mountains, and I don't know when I want to take a detour. Besides, their combat effectiveness is already poor, and they are not opponents when they divide their troops.And Jinzhou was besieged in front, and the city was broken at some point.They may not go, but they cannot stop going without a fight.

"So... we can only fight them at the place of Yanli Mountain, that is, the terrain there affects the performance of the cavalry..." Man Gui pondered: "I will hand over the Jiannu cavalry to you. What do you have? idea?"

"The subordinate asked to give up all the horses to his soldiers. In comparison, they..."

"Give you all."

Wang Yan nodded and continued: "If you charge head-on, the subordinates may not be able to rush Jiannu. So the subordinates thought, lure Jiannu's cavalry away, and then look for opportunities to defeat them. If this is the case, the pressure on the Lord's side will be greater. ..."

"It's okay, [-] infantry is already very good against [-] infantry. It's better than letting the cavalry mow the grass. It's you..." Man Gui said: "Don't be brave, if you can't beat it, get out as soon as possible For the best, keep the green hills, and don’t worry about running out of firewood.”

"Yes, my lord."

Wang Yan responded and didn't say any more.Because of him, Huang Taiji attacked ahead of time, and led more soldiers than in history. In addition, Jinzhou City has not yet been repaired.

And once Jinzhou was broken, Ningyuan was the last pass outside the pass. With such a loss of land and so many soldiers and civilians who died, even if Zhu Youxiao didn't kill him, his own conscience would not be at ease.

So in this battle, he has to fight high and low, and he has to win.

After a while, the large troops behind caught up.Man Gui's hasty deployment made people give Wang Yan all the horses.Wait until everything is done before continuing on the road.

This is good, everyone knows that a war is about to happen, and most of the people behind are not in the mood to gossip.Only some of the veterans were still talking and laughing there.

All the way without a word, he walked for more than ten miles, turned over the first hill of Yanli Mountain, and looked at the dark figure on the opposite side, Wang Yan said to Man Gui beside him: "General, the subordinates are going down."

Man Gui nodded heavily: "Take care." If Wang Yan died, he would be quite reluctant.He is also a child of military merit and a boy who gives money. The two have cooperated for so long, and their relationship is quite deep.

"My lord, be more careful."

After speaking, Wang Yan rode forward and walked up to more than 3000 people. After explaining something, with a loud shout, the entire front row of cavalry broke away from the main force and rushed directly towards the opposite mountain.

Man Gui didn't move, he was waiting for Wang Yan to lure the cavalry away, and then they faced off with the infantry.If the enemy cavalry were not lured away, and they followed up, thousands of people would be killed or injured in a single charge, and the loss was too great.

Seeing Wang Yan lead the charge, the cavalry on the opposite side couldn't bear it anymore, they accelerated and began to charge. At the same time, the infantry also pressed up and began to shoot arrows.

The distance between the cols in the middle is not very far, and the cavalry can't hedge in a blink of an eye.So shooting arrows is useless to them, the speed is too fast.If you put it far away, you can't hit it, but if you put it in, you will shoot your own people.In this round of arrow rain, only a few unlucky ones under Wang Yan's command were shot down, and the others were basically unaffected.

And as the distance got closer and closer, the cavalry also began to shoot arrows at each other, causing damage to each other.

No matter how close the distance was, Wang Yan led the team to make a big turn and run to one side.

This change was a bit caught off guard. The opposite party thought it would be a bloody duel between men, but these fucking people ran away.He rushed a few more steps and saw that the infantry on the other side were on the slope, so he turned his horse and chased after Wang Yan.

After going around in a circle, Wang Yan pretended to lead someone to kill the infantry on the opposite side.It has to be said that there is indeed a difference in the quality of the army. When they saw the cavalry approaching, they just panicked for a while, and then they reacted and started shooting at them.If this was the case with Ming's infantry, they would probably just throw their weapons and run away...

Wang Yan didn't really want to go. Seeing them shooting arrows, he led people around a corner and away from the battlefield.

Seeing this, the rear golden cavalry followed closely with arrows.Their task is to fight in the field, to destroy the vital forces of Ming Dynasty.And these [-] cavalry, with a well-organized army formation, presumably were carefully trained by the Ming army. If they were all wiped out, the Ming army would still be hit hard, and rewards would definitely be indispensable in return.

Wang Yan led his men and horses, firing cold arrows at the back from time to time, until they were some distance away from the frontal battlefield, and then stopped on a small hillside.

Wang Yan greeted: "Take out everything."

Hearing Wang Yan's words, hundreds of people in the front row took out...explosive packs from the packs on their horses.

When everyone was ready, Wang Shoubei raised his arms and called out, "Brothers, kill me..."

After the words fell, Wang Yan killed the golden cavalry who were chasing down the slope without saying a word. As the distance got closer, Wang Yan lit the fuze, drew the bow to the full moon, and shot out the arrow with a small explosive bag...

The Hou Jin cavalry did not pay attention to any other cavalry except for the saboteurs in their own family. Seeing the Ming army, they rushed to them. Not only did they not slow down, but they even increased by three points. Shouting and drawing a bow and shooting arrows...

…………

In this battle, Wang Yan himself was slashed twice, and more than 500 people under his command were killed and wounded. On the other side, only a few hundred people ran away, and the rest were wiped out.

There is no way to deal with such a large number of casualties. After all, the more than 1000 of his subordinates who followed him have rich experience in battle.Even if he has explosives, but the first wave of meritorious service is the greatest, and the remaining two parties have fought together, so they can't even blow up their own people...

After the battle here, there was no time to count what was captured. Some of the lightly injured were left to take care of the seriously injured. By the way, Wang Yan took the remaining 1000 people back to the infantry on both sides. Battlefield.

The quality of the Ming army is indeed quite different. If 2 people beat 1 people and let them be beaten, the Ming army is indeed about the same.

The advantage of the cavalry over the infantry was unparalleled. In addition, Wang Yan rushed over from the rear, and more than 1000 people rushed straight through.Of course, swords and guns have no eyes, and the two parties are entangled, and there are still some unlucky people who die tragically by their own swords...

With the addition of more than 1000 experienced cavalry, Hou Jin's 1 troops simply cannot last long.Wang Yan led his men back and forth, and the Houjin soldiers broke up. The battlefield changed from the front and the Houjin slightly winning to the Ming army chasing the Houjin soldiers.The Ming army has exhausted all its breastfeeding strength. It is much braver than before. These are all fucking heads. It depends on this one to get promoted...

When Wang Yan found Man Gui, he was sitting there resting covered in blood under the guard of his own soldiers.

"My lord, are you all right?"

"It doesn't matter, it's all Jiannu's blood. After all, it's been a long time since I've been on the battlefield, so it's a bit useless." Man Gui sighed for a while, and then burst into a burst of laughter: "You boy, there are more than 3000 Jiannu You have eaten up all the cavalry, this battle was fought happily..."

Wang Yan shook his head and said, "My lord, nearly 2000 people were killed or injured, the loss is too great..."

"Where is Jian slave?"

"Run hundreds of..."

"This is a big victory." Man Gui stood up and said, "I lost two days of troops and wiped out more than 3000 Jiannu cavalry. Isn't that enough? When it comes to rewarding, it might be hard to say that you are a general. The youngest general in Ming Dynasty, hahaha..."

"They are all promoted by adults."

"You..." Man Gui smiled and punched Wang Yan: "Go, report the results of the battle to me, and quickly pass this news back to the capital, so that the emperor will be happy."

"Yes, my lord."

Wang Yan responded, got on his horse and went back to the place where the cavalry had hedged before, and began to finish.

The explosive package cannot be exposed, so after going back, I told the younger brother who was still alive to keep his mouth shut, and he should be content with being promoted and making a fortune if he is not dead. Anyone who talks too much will definitely kill the whole family.

As for those heads with traces that were killed by the bombing, the cavalry stomped back and forth until they were out of shape and nothing could be seen...

After cleaning the battlefield, the results of the battle were also counted. A total of [-] enemies were killed, and [-] heads were recorded intact. One copy was sent directly to the capital to report victory.

Man Gui is not used to Yuan Chonghuan's faults. Yuan Chonghuan's only credit for this battle is to send him to rescue Jinzhou, and other chicken feathers are useless.The other abilities of the civil servants may not be interesting, and they are very powerful in grabbing credit, but we can't let that old boy Yuan Chonghuan succeed in sharing the credit.

All his subordinates were disabled in this battle, and the order he received was to rescue Jinzhou, but now this situation used to be difficult.But there were no other instructions, so they could only rest on the spot, rescue the wounded, and wait for the next order.

In the evening, I received a reply letter from Yuan Chonghuan, gathered the soldiers and horses who were still fighting, and waited to rescue Jinzhou with the big troops tomorrow.

The next day, Yuan Chonghuan sent 2 horses over, and the remaining 3 people from Mangui, a total of [-] horses, were led by Mangui to continue to rescue Jinzhou.As for the wounded and sick, their own successors will be transported to the rear for treatment and recuperation.

Originally, Man Gui fought an encounter with the Houjin Yunliang team, and then retreated back to Ningyuan.So from the beginning to the end, Jinzhou has no reinforcements and has survived.But this time, because Wang Yan flapped his wings crazily, perhaps this victory gave Yuan Chonghuan confidence, and he felt that he was better than others, and that he was going to be the last one.

Or maybe Man Gui's victory had nothing to do with him, he was a little anxious, and wanted to show that he would avoid getting caught later.After all, the leader of the military and government, a big victory has nothing to do with him. If Jinzhou is still strong, if he doesn't take advantage of this hard-won victory to make progress, then it is not a matter of inaction, it is enough to seek death .

When Huang Taiji received the news of the defeat, he immediately flickered and almost lost his footing.

This brought him out with a total of more than 6 and nearly 7 people. He just made up his mind to grab some supplies and go back.Originally, he had a good idea, to fight around Jinzhou first, and it would be best if he could get it down, and if he couldn't get it down, he would gather reinforcements.And once the reinforcements are beaten by them, Ning Yuan in the rear must be even weaker, and then they will fight Ning Yuan again.In this way, a city will definitely be broken, and then by taking advantage of the strength of the soldiers, they will directly rush to the gate of Shanhaiguan...

But he didn't count the frontal confrontation after all his calculations, and more than 1 people didn't even fight the Ming army's bastards.That is to say, he had robbed the supplies of two cities before, and he had a lot more money in his hands, otherwise he should have retreated home to farm.

But now he can't last long. Once the Ming army comes to support him, he won't be able to do it if he is exhausted.And this big defeat itself was an unparalleled blow to their military morale.Therefore, it is necessary to make a quick decision, otherwise, it is easy to lose yourself in this game.

Just like this, Huang Taiji directly ordered the army to attack the city.It's no longer the small fights before, but the hard work of life.After all, the Ming army's support will arrive soon, so it's not too late. He can't do it with 2 people defending the city, so what's the point of defending the city with 5 people?

That night, working until midnight, under the swearing-in guard of Zhao Ledjiao and [-] defenders in Jinzhou City, another night of fierce fighting was fruitless, and at the same time caused a certain degree of casualties to the Houjin soldiers and horses.

After daybreak, without waiting for the reinforcements from Ming Dynasty to arrive, and without sending people to continue the field battle, gathering the soldiers and horses, Huang Taiji directly led the people to retreat, and there was no point in spending any more time.

He came out to search for supplies, not to attack and consume more supplies and troops.Even if he completely wiped out the Ming army that came to support it, it would not be of much use. After all, Ningyuan dared to continue sending people over. I think there are still many people in the city.It is better to withdraw early to avoid falling into the seesaw.His family knew his family affairs, and if the Ming army really refused to let him go, he would not be able to afford it.

Therefore, when Wang Yan and the others were still thirty miles away from Jinzhou, they met the messenger of Zhao Ledjiao... and camped in place again, waiting for instructions...

The battle of Ning Jin, no, after all, there is nothing wrong with Ning Yuan, so it should be the end of the battle of Jinzhou.The battle lasted for ten days, and the result of the battle was that Hou Jin was defeated and returned.

This battle is a real victory.After getting rid of Houjin's arrogance, it also made it clear to the outside world that such a huge empire as Ming Dynasty, even if the sun sets, it is not something that small Fanbang barbarians can spy on.Even without teeth, it is still a tiger.

Wang Yan's little wings fluttered bigger and bigger...

That afternoon, Zhu Youxiao, who was planing wood, received the news of yesterday's great victory in Yanli Mountain. Seeing the words on it that defeated the enemy by [-] in one battle, Zhu Youxiao was so happy that he wanted to jump up.

"It's a good fight this time, a good fight..."

Wei Zhongxian complimented with a smile on the side: "It's all calculated by the Emperor's Sacred Heart Temple, and you can know people with your eyes. Only then did the big victory yesterday. The biggest credit goes to you, the Emperor."

Zhu Youxiao froze for a moment, thought about Man Gui and Wang Yan, and of course the most important thing was Wang Yan's matter, he laughed loudly: "My friend is right, what he said is right... Wang Yan has done a great job in this great victory No, with his victory here, Jinzhou’s troubles will be solved by itself, and the three thousand heads he sent last time, my friend, how do you think I will reward him this time?”

"Back to the emperor, a young hero like Wang Yan can do so much at such an age, and at this moment, when I am employing people in the Ming Dynasty, the old slave thought that it would be better to promote him as soon as possible to save money. If you waste time below, you can also contribute more strength to me, Da Ming."

After all, Wang Yan gave him a gift, and in his words, he expressed his gratitude to his father-in-law for his love, but he only followed suit.In Wei Zhongxian's heart, this is his own person.So talking about it now and seeking benefits for one's own people can also increase the right to speak in Liaodong, so why not do it.

"My companion is right. People like Wang Yan cannot be compared with others. Talents should be promoted." Zhu Youxiao nodded in satisfaction, frowned and said to himself: "But what position should I give him? Soldier? No... It's still a little bit worse, so many people are thinking about it, it's easy to attract people's envy... Deputy Chief Soldier? No... Companion, what do you think of giving him a general?"

Wei Zhongxian nodded and said: "I don't know what a blessing this Wang Yan is, to be so loved by the emperor. The old slave thought that in name, he could be a general or a guerrilla, but soldiers... the old slave thinks that instead of putting them in those In the hands of people, it is better to give Wang Yan more people, and it can play a greater role. If Wang Yan led the army in the battle of Sarhu back then, it is hard to say what the outcome will be..."

"Well... I know." Zhu Youxiao nodded approvingly: "Big companion, go and spread the news, so that the people in the capital will be happy too..."

"Yes, Your Majesty, this old slave is retiring..."

Wei Zhongxian responded with a smile, bowed and took two steps back before walking out, thinking about how to let that kid Wang Yan know his contribution to Wei Zhongxian, and pay more attention...

Don't blame him for being like this, it's really Wang Yan who is too damn good at fighting, Liaodong was beaten and retreated steadily, only Wang Yan was the only one who gained a lot every time, he didn't feel at ease if such a person was not in his hands...
