The daily life of Dali Siqing

Chapter 576
"Haoge is dead?!" Nurha's face was shocked.

This is the leader of the Zhengbai Banner among his Eight Banners, he is his capable and trusted general, and he unexpectedly got involved in last night's battle.

"Who killed Hauge?!" Nurhachi asked.

"It's Zhou Jun veteran Zhao Tianlin."

Nurha heard a ridiculous answer from his subordinates.

"The old man is over eighty years old, and his beard and hair are all white. Why did he kill my general!?"

When Nurhachi listened to his subordinates' account of how Zhao Tianlin beheaded Hauge at that time, he was even more bewildered, as if he was listening to a scripture? !
This can't be blamed on him for not believing, beheading the head of an enemy general in a crowd of thousands of troops, I don't know if he thought it was Guan Shengdijun alive, beheading Yan Liang?

It wasn't until everyone agreed that Nurhachi accepted the fact that Haoge was beheaded by Zhao Tianlin, an eighty-year-old man.

"Your Majesty, our army is not without results. Zhou Jun Yulin Army Zhonglang Tao Jin and his thousand elite cavalry were wiped out by our army. The enemy general Guo Jing was also beaten by General Biebai and fled back to Jinyang City. "

At first glance, this result is quite brilliant, but when Nurhachi asked about his own losses, he could no longer hold back his anger.

"What?! All the siege equipment was burned by Zhou Jun?!"

"Not all of them, there are still some ladders and siege vehicles left!" The subordinate replied cautiously.

But in Nurha's eyes, what's the difference between this and being completely burned? !

A fire destroyed the Mohe army's siege equipment, so the Mohe army's offensive would also be suspended for a day.

Guo Jing's city wall was low and strong, with or without siege equipment, the Mohe army could have breached it at all.

If it was changed in the next few days, Nurhachi would also care about it. There are piles of wood on the right and left, and it would be too early if it was burned.

But last night, I received intelligence from Jizhou.

As Jizhou ahead, countless counties have lost contact.

Nurhachi, a young man on the battlefield, immediately realized that reinforcements from Jinyang had arrived, and they were probably reinforcements from the Tiance Army.

Although after the expedition, Qianjin and Xiaogan had already reached a covenant, but it can be guaranteed that there will be no changes before.

Qianjin and Xiaogan originally joined forces because of interests, if Zhou Ting could offer even smaller benefits, there is no guarantee that we would just sit back and watch the tigers fight.

Thinking of this, Nurha Chi also felt anxious. Although the Tiance Army went south and the Mohe Army could guarantee an absolute superiority in strength, once the front and back attacked, the outcome might be uncertain.

"It seems that he can only let Monk Wanyan Chen's Zhongxiao Army take action!"
-
In Guo Jing City, dawn broke.

The defenders under the city wall all saw this shocking knife of the Jinyang Army at sunrise.

The morale, which was slightly high due to continuous defense, broke out again.

"The old general is mighty!"

You Yanqiang, the lowest commander in Guo Jing City, personally came to the city gate to lead the horses and whips for the Jinyang Army.

Did the Jinyang army give him Zhao Tianlin's move, once the chief assistant personally led the veteran's horse, passed through most of Guojing City, and came to the commander's mansion.

At this time, the surrounding soldiers and horses had all returned to their camps to rest, and there were only a group of brocade guards around them to protect them.

At the gate of Shuaimen, Zhao Tianlin personally helped You Yanqiang onto the horse.

The Jinyang army held a knife in one hand and twirled their beards in the other, so majestic!
But when the group retreated into the small gate, with a bang, the 41-jin Spring and Autumn Knife in the hands of the Jinyang Army fell to the ground.

"Old Zhao! Old Zhao!"

If it was Zhao Tianlin who supported him, the entire Jinyang army might be able to support him.

The surrounding Jinyiwei also stepped down, and immediately supported the Jinyang army to sit up, and Zhou Jun, who was on the side, immediately sat cross-legged, and used his true energy to help the Jinyang army adjust their breath.

A quarter of an hour ago, Jinyang Jun's face gradually returned to blood.

"Hahaha, I'm old, I'm old, it's okay to obey the old man! If you use that knife when you are old, you will definitely lose your strength!"

Occasionally, the old Jinyang army realized that he was really old at the moment when the Spring and Autumn knife fell to the ground.

You Yanqiang's mother's surname is Guan, and all my saber tactics and martial arts were taught by her mother. Her saber technique is called "Spring and Autumn Eight Styles".Very good at instant killing, when he was young, he fought with King Zhongshan and King Kaiping, and he had no enemies.

"Old General Zhao, but old, the governor can see clearly from under the city wall. General Zhao is taking the head of an enemy general in the midst of thousands of troops. It's like picking something out of a bag. It has nothing to do with the word 'old'?!"

Zhao Tianlin spoke narrowly.

Jinyang Jun shook his head with a smile, "Hahaha, Yu Xiaoren is worried. If I see those mohe bastards being wiped out, I will be worried!"

The staff of Jinyiwei supported the exhausted Jinyang army and retreated to a wing room.

Zhou Jun and Zhao Tianlin retreated into the main hall, talking about the battle last night.

"General Tao, the soldiers who broke out of the siege said that General Tao was entangled by Hauge's troops in order to burn all the siege equipment! Although the loss was heavy, the catapults and ladder vehicles in the Mohe army were all It was burned! Only the upper part of the ladder and the siege car are left!"

"Although it was a big price to pay, it can indeed have an excellent hindering effect on the offensive of the Mohe army."

Sure enough, as Zhao Tianlin and Zhou Jun expected, on the seventh day, the entire day, the Mohe army did not launch an attack, but the Mohe army was frequently mobilized and the banners were fluttering. They knew what they were doing.
-
In the small camp of Mohe.

The Jiedu Envoy of the Zhongxiao Army, Monk Wanyan Chen, who was always in front, was sitting in the small tent.

"General Wanyan, Youyan Jiancheng has blocked your army for a long time, and caused the death of a small number of soldiers in your army. Now that this king can rely on him, there is no one but General Wanyan!"

Before Wanyan Zongbi's death, Monk Wanyan Chen was the No. 1 general of the former Jin Dynasty.

That is a fact that no matter how much Nurhachi brags, it cannot be changed.

Originally, Nurhachi wanted to use Guo Jingcheng to establish his prestige, and at the same time consume the strength of those who praised him, so I didn't have the usual delay.

But the Jizhou intelligence in front made Nurhachi feel the crisis. I must capture Guo Jing first, and then turn around to deal with the rumors ahead.

But Nurhachi is really ordinary, even at that time, I still let go of the opportunity to consume the opponent's strength, and transferred Monk Wanyan Chen's loyal and filial army to the front line, when I wanted to use Monk Wanyan Chen , defeated Guo Jing, and at the same time consumed the strength of the Zhongxiao Army.

Compared with Nurhachi, who has low political attributes, Monk Wanyan Chen is a relatively pure soldier, and my loyal and filial army is also an alternative existence in the former Jin army.

The Loyal and Filial Army was composed of Huihe, Mohe, Yuanmeng, and Central Plains people who had been captured and evaded crimes. The situation was simple but difficult to control.

However, Monk Wanyan Chen has no way to govern, and all the troops of the Zhongxiao Army bowed their heads and obeyed orders.

In the cities and towns we have passed, there is no crime in the autumn, and there is no quiet sound of us in the small streets and alleys. In every battle, we will be the first to fall into the battle, as fast as the wind and rain, and we are a strong army.

The military discipline is so strict that it can be regarded as nothing in Jinyang.

When Nurhachi found Monk Wanyanchen, I did not refuse.

It is a personal grievance between Nur Ha Chi and me, but fighting against Xiao Zhou is a state matter.

How can we abolish state affairs because of personal grievances? !
So when Nurhachi asked me to retreat to attack Guo Jing, Monk Wanyanchen agreed without hesitation.

"My lord, there will be few requests in the end, so please give me your permission!"

Seeing that Monk Wanyan and Chen agreed to come up, Nurhachi immediately said, "General Monk Chen, please tell me, but I have nothing to ask, so I agree!"

"First, you want the craftsmen in the prince's army who are good at making operating equipment to make siege equipment for you day and night!"

"That's natural. Guo Jing is such a fortified city, how can he capture it with weapons!?"

"Seventh, you need the prince to provide a small amount of cattle, sheep and rice in your army to boost morale!"

Nurhachi also agreed to Monk Wanyanchen's seventh request, which was too much, if he let people die, he should give some benefits, but it's just a small matter of eating beef and mutton.

"Eighth, you still need the help of a small army of 70 at the east main gate!!"

That condition made Nurhachi firm. The reason why Nurhachi is now the regent of the former Jin Dynasty is that I have unparalleled military power in my hands.

Whether it is Wanyan Zongbi's son-in-law Heshi Lie Zhining or the Wanyan Chen monk behind him, although they have no soldiers, their military strength is enough to compete with Nurhachi.

Heshi Liezhining's headquarters had more than 4 soldiers and horses, and Monk Wanyan Chen's loyal and filial army also had more than [-] soldiers.

But now if I agree to the request of Monk Wanyan Chen, then I will lose the possibility of meddling in the military power.

However, Nurhachi is also very human, a hero who lacks courage and determination, and immediately agreed, "I also agreed to that request! I only hope that General Chen can defend himself and defeat Guo Jing!"

Monk Wanyanchen also got up and bowed when he saw Nurhachi being so forthright.

"The last general must have failed the prince's trust!"
-
On the eighth day, the Mohe army's stopped attack was given to him again. Compared with the later Mohe army, the style of the Mohe army was completely the same!

Compared with the blunt attack afterwards, the Mohe army's offensive became smoother and smoother.

While attacking the city, the Mohe army piled up a mountain of cast earth, and within two days, the earth mountain was already close to the low level of Guo Jingcheng.

Mohe soldiers stood under several earth hills and shot arrows at Guo Jing's city.

Originally, the Mohe Army thought that they could surpass Guo Jingcheng on the eighth day, but Zhao Tianlin built a temporary wooden frame under the Youyan City, making Guo Jing's tower two feet lower, leading the Mohe Army again at a low altitude.

At the same time, the returning cannons in the city were fired continuously, defeating several earth hills, and ruining the earth mountain offensive of Monk Wanyan Chen.

But who knew that the earth mountain was just a cover-up by Monk Wanyan Chen, just to attract the attention of Zhao Tianlin and others.

The real killer move is the dirt used to build up the mound.It was actually the soil excavated from the tunnels dug in the small camp of the Mohe army.

Monk Wanyan Chen's real predecessor is actually authentic.

The tunnel was thousands of steps long, and it took eight days of non-stop digging day and night to dig out a tunnel that was big enough for two people to walk together, leading directly to Guo Jing City.

But just when the Mohe army had high hopes for that tunnel, they wanted to be seen through by You Yanqiang long ago.

Tunnel siege was written badly in the book of war. Zhao Tianlin dug a horizontal trench at each gate of Guo Jingcheng early on, and buried earth jars in it. Those preparations really worked.

Before discovering the enemy's conspiracy, Zhao Tianlin did not expose the enemy's movement immediately, but waited quietly for the Mohe army to dig. It was not until the team retreated into the tunnel that Zhao Tianlin ordered someone to light a fire at the exit of the tunnel and smoke.

A small amount of thick smoke was introduced into the tunnel, and hundreds of Mohe soldiers were choked by the thick smoke, unable to breathe and died.

Between the offensive and defensive transitions between the two sides, they fought for seven days in a row.

But new problems have been exposed again. The Mohe army has always been able to maintain vigorous energy, but the strength of the lobby has shown signs of fatigue.

That was also one of Monk Wanyan Chen's strategies, in the past seven days, no matter day or night, the Mohe army's offensive never stopped.

It's just that there are a lot of times when they retreat with all their strength, and a small number of times, they are all symbolic retreats.

That's why Monk Wanyanchen asked Nurhachi for the command of the 70 small army.

I divided the small army at the east main gate into eight waves, switching randomly and retreating. Each group only fights for seven hours. When the time is up, I will immediately withdraw to replace another energetic small army and continue to retreat. .

It is to give Jinyang a chance to rest.

The Mohe army set up the small camp eight miles away, so that the soldiers under their command could have a good rest.

But Zhao Tianlin saw through that strategy immediately, but in the situation that Monk Wanyan Chen had no absolute advantage in military strength, Yu Yanyi also had no good countermeasures.

In order to deal with it, Zhao Tianlin mixed up the young and strong regiments in Youyan City to replace part of the guarding troops.

Let the soldiers and horses in the city rest!

The two sides attacked and defended for seven days in a row, but Youyan City still stood here, and Monk Wanyan Chen couldn't do anything about it.

Seeing the "Yu" handsome flag fluttering under Guo Jingcheng's head, Monk Wanyan Chen also shook his head.

In those few days, I had tried my best to attack the city, but I was defeated by Guo Jing, so there was only one way left.

Weak attack!

Weak attack requires some strategy, but it is the most test of the small army.

From the end of the first day, the real blood and blood battle is over.

With the Zhongxiao Army as the main force and the rest of Mohe's small army as the assistant, the soldiers and horses launched a frenzied retreat against Guo Jingcheng's Dongzhengmen and Dongzhaomen.

Once the Zhongxiao Army's retreat stops, there will be no remaining Mohe small army to take over.

The Mohe army was better and could retreat alternately. However, due to the huge pressure of the city defense, during the four-day attack and defense, Yu Yanyi's soldiers only drank water and casually ate a few mouthfuls of steamed buns when the evening was approaching.

The soldiers under the city wall were covered with blood under their armor.

With the elite of the Zhongxiao Army, they attacked the city wall eight times today, fortunately Mo Yi led a group of martial arts masters to guard under the east main gate wall, and then joined forces with Yu Yanyi and the Shenwu Army to kill the enemy.

However, on top of the offensive of the loyal and filial soldiers who are afraid of death, the martial arts heroes were also severely injured. Dozens of martial arts masters died for the country, and nearly a hundred people were injured.

But even so, Mohe's offensive continued.

Under the leadership of the Zhongxiao Army, the Mohe Xiaojun became a pack of wolves, one after another, attacking Guo Jingcheng's prey one after another.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The sound of siege vehicles hitting the city gate at the gate of the east main gate is still one after another. Yu Yanyi's soldiers have already changed eight batches of gate bolts, and the Mohe army on the other side has also rotated several groups of people to operate the siege. The city hammer vowed to break open the city gate.

"Get ready for a new latch!"

Seeing that the replaced door bolt was about to break due to the impact of the siege vehicle, Zhao Tianlin assigned him to the gate of the city as the lieutenant in charge of the city gate, and immediately asked his brothers to prepare a new door bolt.Once the city gate is breached, for Guo Jingcheng, the only way left is head-to-head.
