Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 199
"Kill!" Wang Dalang led thousands of soldiers roaring to the northeast of Hetuala, smashing Zhengbai Banner Jiala who kept retreating all the way.

The slave rebel army who fled in Changbai Mountain once again broke out on Changbai when the main force of the Eight Banners fell into the predicament of conquering the Liao army. Along the way, they absorbed the surrounding people, slaves and various tribes oppressed by Jianzhou Jurchen. In just a few days, Remnant soldiers from hundreds of people swelled to thousands of people again!

Azig of the Zhengbai Banner led the main force to Yahuguan to defend the Liao army's offensive in the direction of Qingshuibao. A Jiala's troops who were originally in charge of encircling and suppressing the slave rebels were also withdrawn by half.They never thought that the slave rebel army, who was almost starving to death and freezing to death in Changbai Mountain, pulled up a team again, and the scale continued to expand.

Even the slave rebel army, which can be said to be a mob, just relied on the superiority of its numbers and the anger of the people at the Jianzhou Jurchen's oppression for many years, to overthrow a Zhengbai Banner who besieged them, and they still beat them!
Some towns near Changbai Mountain were attacked by slave rebels one after another, and wars broke out everywhere.

"Return to Hetuala, completely wipe out the Jin people, avenge the sacrificed comrades, and rescue the companions who are still enslaved!" Wang Dalang pulled the banner of rebelling against Houjin, and approached Hetuala.

Yaful Pass is located in the southwest of Hetuala. After the Liao army left Qinghe Fort, as long as they captured Yaful Pass, they could basically push straight to Hetuala City.

However, the terrain of the Yahu Pass is dangerous, and one man is the pass, and ten thousand are not allowed to open it. Azig, who is in the white flag, is more confident to hold it for a month or two, so that Huang Taiji can have enough time to defeat the main force of the Liao army.

Of course, this is because Azig has been guarding the north for a long time, and he feels good in his heart because he has never fought against the Liao army.It wasn't until he really experienced the baptism of the Liao army's artillery fire that Azig really realized what despair is.

The artillery of the Liao army is not only a direct-firing bronze cannon, but also a curved howitzer. At any time, an iron ball will fall from the top of the mountain, smashing the defenders into a pulp!
Dominated by such fear, the Zhengbai Banner soldiers at Yagu Pass completely lost the bravery they had when sweeping up the slave rebels. Instead, they huddled in the caves and trenches near Yafu Pass to avoid the bombardment of the Liao Army's artillery.

In addition to artillery, the Liao army also regarded the attack and defense of Yahu Pass as an actual blasting exercise, and blasters continued to blast under the cover of muskets and artillery.Fortunately, the road from Qinghebao to Yahuguan was rugged, and the supplies of the Liao army could not continuously replenish the loss of gunpowder, otherwise Zhengbai Banner would be in jeopardy.

Even so, under the day and night offensive of the Liao army, Azig really can't guarantee that he can defend for a month or two. What he can guarantee is three to five days. As for the longer time, it depends on God. Also let him live.

"Send someone to inform Your Majesty that I can guarantee that the Raven Pass will be safe and sound within three days, and resign to fate after three days, and request Your Majesty to quickly resolve the war in the north and go south for reinforcements. Azig is willing to live and die with the Raven Pass." Azige sent his hands helplessly. Down to urge Huang Taiji to fight.

Below the Yahu Pass, Chen Jisheng of the [-]th Infantry Brigade and Xu Ji of the [-]th Infantry Brigade were also thinking about the attack and defense of Yahu Pass. Form a north-south pincer attack with the northern army on Hetuala.

"We have used artillery and gunpowder, but we still can't break through the Crowful Pass. It is indeed a dangerous place."

"It's not just a dangerous place, our opponents are also very strong. They are all veterans of hundreds of battles. Several times they rushed to the bottom of the Raven Falcon Pass with the help of artillery fire, but they were still driven down."

When the two officers discussed the offensive that day, they were also a little frowning.

"Sun Tzu said that attacking the city is the bottom and attacking the mind is the top. We should think of some strategies to attack the mind and disintegrate the enemy from the inside." Chen Jisheng said.

"What is the strategy to attack the heart?" Xu Ji asked curiously.

"The military leader once said that when an army surrounded the enemy, they threw paper at the defenders, and wrote the news of the defeat of the enemy's reinforcements on it. In this way, the enemy defending the city would know that they could not wait for the reinforcements, and their morale would be chaotic. They will fight each other, this is attacking the heart." Chen Jisheng said.

"Is it really so magical?" Xu Ji couldn't believe it.

"You might as well give it a try. When we attacked, we sprinkled some papers, saying that the main force of the Eight Banners had been defeated by the military master in the Sarhu area. Several banner masters were killed in battle. If they surrender, they will forget the past and behead the thief. Those who donate Jige's head will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver, and then they will be appointed as a battalion officer, and other officers and soldiers who resist will be beheaded, and the rewards will vary." As soon as Chen Jisheng opened his mind, he was eager to try.

"Wonderful, even if they don't succeed, they can still fall into panic and suspicion, so they don't want to defend themselves." Xu Ji nodded.

Near Gule Village, six of the Eight Banners and Li Yongfang's Han troops gathered together, a total of more than 4 people, mighty and mighty.

Near Shibao, the 2th Infantry Brigade was full of fighting spirit after the retreat of the Eight Banners, and then the main force of the [-]st, [-]nd, [-]rd, and Artillery Brigade went south to join the [-]th Brigade, with a total of more than [-] people.

The two forces formed a confrontational situation.

If it hadn't been for the destruction of the Xianglan Banner in Saerhu City, the Fuliao Army would have worried that the soldiers of the Eight Banners in the Saerhu area would attack Fushun Pass and cut off their food roads.However, as the Xianglan Banner was completely wiped out, the Fuliao Army and the Eight Banners Army fell into the same situation. Anyone can send troops to copy the other's food roads, and their every move can be easily detected by the other party.

However, after all, the Fu Liao Army was going to collect grain from Liaodong City to Fushun, and then transport it to the front line through Fushun Pass. The journey was farther than the Eight Banners Army that transported grain directly from Hetuala.

"According to the current situation, the Eight Banners should stick to it, and then copy each other's food routes with our army. It is a wise choice to withdraw until we can't bear the loss." Archduke Karl pointed on the topographic map and said, "Our army is transporting food. , the distance is hundreds of miles, and the truth and Houjin Jieliang Dao, we can't consume them."

"It's a pity that they don't have time to spend with us. Here, the slave rebel army has assembled more than [-] people, preparing to clear the other defenders around Hetuala except for the Eight Banners. And here, Yahu Pass, as far as I know, Chen Jisheng and the others have launched several strong attacks, and the Yahu Pass is in danger, they will definitely urge Huang Taiji to fight us as soon as possible."

"More importantly, the Horqin Tribe is about to reach an armistice agreement with the Chahar Tribe, and the Mongolian Corps will soon go south to help us. So we are not in a hurry. Maybe in just two days, Huang Taiji will kneel down and beg me to cooperate with you." They will fight decisively." Chu Yun, who finally appeared on the front line, said with a smile.
