Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 206

The old capital of the Houjin Kingdom has fallen into chaos. The fleeing common people, Jurchen nobles, and large carriages have blocked the gates of the city.Even some soldiers pretended to be ordinary people, trying to blend in with the crowd to escape the crumbling city.

"I heard that the Fu Liao army is coming soon, and all the Jurchen nobles will be beheaded. Why don't you run away quickly? One step later, the Fu Liao army will surround Hetuala, and we will be unable to fly!" Jianzhou Jurchen nobles Discussing with each other, the smarter ones left Hetuala long ago.

"Besides Liaodong, where else can we go? Go back to the mountains and forests to be hunters? Wealthy people like us can't bear those hard times."

"You are so stupid, life is more important than enjoyment? You can enjoy it without your life. Run for your life, I plan to escape to the desolate place in Mobei, and come back when the weather is calm. There is a follow-up."

Huang Taiji and others fled back to Hetuala in embarrassment with the remnant soldiers, only to find that Hetuala was in a mess, the hearts of the people were scattered, and the few defenders could no longer control the whole situation.

In the northwest of Hetuala, Chu Yun led a [-] infantry and cavalry mixed regiment to the south, while in the southwest of Hetuala, Xu Ji and Chen Jisheng led [-] infantry to break through the Yahu Pass and march northward. Hetuala was precarious.

Twenty or thirty miles away from Hetuala, the figure of the slave rebel army has already been seen.The rebel army led by Wang Dalang brought together many tribal troops and Ming army prisoners of war, and the number swelled to tens of thousands. They repeatedly defeated Houjin troops from various places, and finally came to the vicinity of Hetuala.However, he was afraid of confronting the remaining troops of the Eight Banners, and Wang Dalang did not plan to attack Hetuala until he joined the Fuliao Army.

"Your Majesty, do you want me to drive all the fleeing people into the city and die with us?" Dorgon said in disgust when he saw the crowd pouring out of Hetuala while riding on his horse.

"These people are scared out of their wits. Even if we force them to stay in the city, they are not of one mind with us. They are wasting food, so it is better to let them go." Huang Taiji said in a low tone, "How many troops do we have?"

"Combining the Zhengbai Banner and the local troops that retreated from Yahu Pass, the number is still less than [-]," Yue Tuo said.

"It's less than [-], what are we going to use to defend the city?" Huang Taiji was even more desperate, "Yue Tuo, I'm sorry for letting your father die because of this."

"Don't blame Your Majesty, life and death depend on fate and wealth, and I, Yue Tuo, am also ready to die in battle at any time." Yue Tuo, who was hit, said indifferently.

Almost all the surviving generals of the Eight Banners felt that they had completely lost this war, and they had almost no chance of turning the tables.

"Haoge, Dorgon, Fan Wencheng, you guys come with me."

Huang Taiji returned to the palace, summoned a few people alone, and gave some orders in private, causing them and others to change their expressions slightly.

The day before Hetuala's collapse, Chu Yun and others finally reorganized their troops without haste and surrounded Hetuala from three directions.At this time, the Liao army came with the victory, the soldiers were strong and the horses were strong, and the flags were flying!

The three troops consisted of 5 troops, an unprecedentedly large force assembled by the Fuliao Army. Facing the garrison of less than 2 defenders in Hetuala, who was in panic all day long, it was like Mount Tai overwhelming.

"As long as Hetuala is captured, Houjin will be destroyed. Huang Taiji and the others didn't take the opportunity to escape?" Chu Yun looked up at Houjin's last fortress.

What the Ming army failed to do nine years ago, I have done today.

"There are still more than 1 people in the Eight Banners. Where can so many people escape? Mobei is the territory of the Mongols and some Beiyi tribes. After losing their troops, Huang Taiji and the others can only wait to recover." Fourth Brigade Chen Jisheng said.

"Your Fourth Brigade and Sixth Brigade took Yahu Pass a day or two later than planned. What's going on?" Chu Yun asked.

"Ahem, Yaful Pass is much easier to defend and harder to attack than imagined. In addition, the terrain is rugged and supplies are insufficient, so it is a bit later than the plan formulated by the military department." Chen Jisheng and Xu Ji said embarrassingly.

Although they finally broke the Yahu Pass and severely damaged the Zhengbai Banner guarding the Yahu Pass.However, compared with Chu Yun's North Road Troops' achievements in annihilating the Xianglan Banner and severely injuring the Six Banners, the record seems too mediocre.

"This shows that our experience in attacking fortified areas is still insufficient. If we hadn't had the advantage of firearms, we might have been stopped for a longer time. We still need to strengthen the drills in attacking fortified areas in the future," Chu Yun said.

"Follow the teachings."

After Chu Yun met with the fourth and sixth brigades from the south, Chu Yun also met with Wang Dalang, the leader of the slave rebel army who came to join him.

At this time, Wang Dalang no longer looked like a defeated soldier running around in Changbai Mountain. He led the rebel army to defeat the Houjin army repeatedly, and he looted a lot of Houjin army's equipment. He was wearing the armor of the Houjin general. to the teeth.

"Wang Dalang pays homage to Liaodong Inspector!" Wang Dalang was secretly surprised when he saw the young officer Chu Yun, and knelt down to salute.

"General Wang, you don't need to be too polite. You led the troops to deal with Hou Jin and shared the pressure of our Liao army. When we attacked Shengjing last time, you held back the Zhengbai Banner. This time you intensified the pressure on Huang Taiji. Forcing him to fight us decisively, speaking of it, I have to thank you very much." Seeing the scars on Wang Dalang's face, Chu Yun couldn't help admiring him.

"Thank you for your love, Mr. Inspector. If it weren't for the appearance of the Liao Army, our group of people would have no chance to rise up. Even if we did, we would starve to death in the vast Changbai Mountains. How can we avenge the hatred of the Jurchen nobles for these years. "

"Speaking of which, nine years ago, I was a modest military officer. Unexpectedly, I have been a prisoner for nearly ten years. Ten years, I don't even know if my old mother is still alive. Please, Lord Inspector, after the end of this war , allowing me to return to the customs to visit my family."

When Wang Dalang talked about his family, he couldn't help crying.

"Don't worry, after this battle is over, I will reward you people with lofty ideals and give them money and food to return to the pass. Of course, those who are willing to stay in our Liaodong army can also stay in Liaodong and develop this area with us. Rich black land." Chu Yun patted Wang Dalang on the shoulder heavily.

"I thank you sir on behalf of the brothers!" Wang Dalang saw that Chu Yun not only allowed himself to wait for the captives from the pass to be sent back to his hometown, but also paid travel expenses, so he knelt down and kowtowed to Chu Yun. Unforgettable, when I go back to my hometown to visit my elders, I will definitely come back, take refuge in the inspector, and do my best for the inspector."

"Haha, it's easy to talk about. Hey, who are these strong men?" Chu Yun noticed the few big men brought along with Wang Dalang.

Their two-meter height stood out from the crowd, and it was hard for Chu Yun not to notice.

"As far as the inspectors are concerned, they are the Donghai Jurchen righteous men who have helped us kill many soldiers of the Eight Banners."
